Cotton Exchange Tax Under Fire in Louisiana Court
Four New Orleans trading firms challenge the two per cent tax on futures transactions of the New Orleans cotton exchange enacted in 1934 by Huey P. Long as unconstitutional. They claim it taxes a commodity in interstate commerce and that no similar tax exists in other states. They seek refunds for taxes paid in late 1938. A separate suit by New Orleans Terminal Co seeks $1,614.19 back for 1935 taxes on public utilities, arguing prior rulings found the levy inapplicable to interstate commerce.
